Tracking Implementation
Tracking Success
The data collected on pollution levels at hubs and identification and mitigation of high-emission areas, as well as no of quality sensors installed.
If overperforming, what should we do?
Adjust placement strategy for sensors based on real-time data needs, expand funding for sensor deployment.
If underperforming, what should we do?
Enhance air quality data transparency, integrate findings into policies.
